ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on June 8, 2011 at 11:09: Great work PC.

Pressure is on for more events.

Tone is working on having the BOSSJam on 16th July, and it looks like they will have a session at Elanora Bowl.
Some MOSS guys (who also wiggle) are getting excited. In the past we have found that having a slalom race on the same weekend as a BowlJam pulls a strong field of competitors, a good crowd, and huge stoke, like we will be doing at this years MOSSJam in November.

It would be good to see slalom racing returning to Gold Coast or Brisvegas at the same time as the BOSSJam.

As for Victoria, its F'n cold here at the moment, so indoor parks and the snowfields are getting most of the action. Hopefully we can get the serious cones out again in late July.

Premium Member Comment by Marek on June 8, 2011 at 10:27: Good on ya PC! I guess public holidays work well for this kind of place as there is no sport etc. I hope to get there.

Premium Member Comment by PC on June 8, 2011 at 0:41: That rad Haggy. I'm just trying this out to see how it all goes & if it's possible.

I've since found out the foootpath around the oval is more like700-800 metres around. Should be some exhausting fun. Push & bomb timed runs, coool.

Premium Member Comment by PC on June 7, 2011 at 0:49: OK kids it's on for ol'Lizzies birthday holiday on monday, 13th June, 10am -3pm.
A day of short course skateboard racing at Wadalba sports field carpark.
Me & my girls are rounding up a crew of friends to come & do
a diverse series of skateboard racing disiplines.
Everyone welcome.
I'm looking at setting up 3 to 4 different race formats on the day.

1. Dual lane cruiser class slalom. 15-20 cones max.
No cone penalties, only DQs. Not timed
Z-Flex,Penny, Globe, Sector 9, OZI, etc. No size restrictions.
We'll run a little double elimination round for this I hope,
Aimed at newcomers & ol'farts on retro setups from under the house.

2. Single lane hybrid slalom. 30-35 cones.
For experienced riders & gnarly newcomers. Timed.

3. Timed laps of the oval. approx 350 metres.
Push, pump,bomb,push,push pump. A bit of down, up, down.

4. Mini mellow downhill races.
If time permits.

Let me know if you need detailed directions if your coming.
Anyone keen to help out with set up & timing let me know.

ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on May 21, 2011 at 21:45: Robbo, like I mentioned its not me, and I am not pissed at you, so you don't need to apologise to me.

Your busy, so Pm a good time to have a phone call.

Comment by Robbo on May 21, 2011 at 19:26: Why the big cry Bernie? Have I slighted you in some way mate. Not sure when that might have happened but I apologise unreservedly for whatever it is your pissed about. I don't recall having a missed call or an email from anybody nor do I think I have missed any of the 15 odd PM's I get a day on ASRA. All of my contact details are on the Contact ASRA page on this website and are freely available to everybody. Feel free to hit me up mate, just like I have done for the last 5 years, I'm happy to help anybody with anything anytime

ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on May 21, 2011 at 15:45: Forgot to mention a pretty important sponsor of SpringyDitch.

Braden Schlager and his site was how we got inspired and how we got organised to pour the concrete roll-in to the ditch.

And for many of us, Charliedontskate is where all this started!

ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on May 21, 2011 at 9:42: Robbo, does that all mean that you will now attempt to improve your response times to pm's and return phone calls so that we slalom racers can actually "hit up ASRA". I know of another race organizer who has almost given up on ASRA. Feel free to moderate this comment and pick up the phone. Hop has my number.

Premium Member Comment by DA BEAR on May 21, 2011 at 8:41: Agree with you Robbo, i was all warm and fuzzy last night, 17degs, bueatiful,
